I gotta go with this one. I'm getting tired of black baggers festooned with a ton of bolt on stuff being considered a "righteous build." Nice to see some thought and originality.

Looks like the tank has a sight glass on it like the oil fired boilers I used to operate. Is it a coffee maker?

Agreed.

Crazy beat me to it but I gotta say it again. It wasn't done with parts from the catalog and called "a build".

Agreed. I'd hate to know what the tires cost.

i think it's a little too far outside the box . tires half that wide , headlight extension half that far , less extreme hardware on the springer would all make a big difference and still retain the individuality of the bike .
love the faucet on the oil tank , makes changes super simple
